After logging on this morning I was surprised and thrilled to see that I'd received an award from steemitboard. So, thank you to arcange.
As a Minnow I'm still feeling a bit of an outsider, I'm reading, upvoting and commenting as well as creating my own content but , as expected in the early days of my time here, I'm not seeing many rewards (except I'm really enjoying myself) To receive an award is just what I needed, it made me feel rather chuffed to get some recognition. And I'm sure that for some people, getting just a bit of recognition could be the one thing to inspire them to keep working. The awards are a great idea!
